  • Itunes will not open after installing lion and software updates

    I just installed lion and completed the most recent software updates for my computer, now i cannot get iTunes to open without it "unexpectedly quitting" on me. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

    You can try two things - Open Disk Utility and repair all permissions for your hard disk and / or delete the iTunes Preferences plist file in userhome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
    However, Lion now hides this Library folder in your user home folder, so you will need to open the Terminal app and type
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    and press return
    This will show the Library folder

  • HT1349 itunes will not open on my computer, and says I need to reinstall it.  When I try to reinstall itunes I get an error message error #2502 and error #2503

    When I try to open itunes I get a message that says that itunes is corupt and I needto reinstall it.  When I try to reinstall itunes Iget two error messages; error #2502 and error #2503.  How can I get itunes to work?

    Many thanks.
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • ITunes will not open (no error message and not running Norton 2005)

    I have recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and I now cannot get it to open after clicking on the icon. The iTunes.exe process comes up in the task manager briefly then disappears. There is NO accompanying error message and I am NOT running Norton Antivirus 2005. I have already tried reinstalling the standalone version of quicktime and I have used msconfig so that I essentially have only the necessary iTunes/quicktime processes running (no antivirus/antispyware/anti-popup software is running in the background). I have Windows 2000 and I have never had a problem with iTunes until now. Somebody please help me out here.

    wapierce,
    It looks like we have covered all the bases here. Unfortunatly it looks like The computer cannot run iTunes or the OS has an issue that may require a reeinstall.
    Lets verify the Hardware and OS one more time. Click Start> right click My Computer> Properties(you can also open My Computer then click view system information on the left side of the window.) What does the processor and Memory say here? Also what is it saying aout Windows.
    Make sure there are no upadtes available for the computer.
    When you installed iTunes did you make any registry changes? It sounds like the next step would be doing a restore or re-install of Windows on the computer.

  • Tried to backup ibooks to PC using iTools, now iTunes will not open the backup folder and my iPad says that it's storage is almost full

    It appears that iTools has backed up on the iPad as well, I tried manage storage from settings but all storage settings are not enabled. I downloaded iTools on my PC and pressed the backup on iBooks in applications, it created a folder on my PC that iTunes on the PC cannot read. I stopped what was called backing up to local when I got a message from the iPad saying that storage was almost full.
    So how do I 1- repair the iPad storage
    2- backup the books in IBooks to my PC (they used to backup easily with iTunes but after the last update of iTunes they just would not)
    Thanks

    No, nothing at all happens. Once clicked the 'circle' that suggest it is loading appears (if that makes sense) but no, nothing
    Many thanks.
    Can you check something for me please?
    Restart your PC. after the PC restarts, bring up your Task manager, and go to the "Processes" tab. Click "Image name" to sort the processes alphabetically.
    Now try to launch iTunes.
    Does an itunes.exe process appear? If so, does it vanish after a second or so, or does it persist in the Processes tab (even though iTunes itself never shows up)?

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

    What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

  • Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

    I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
    Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
      - I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
    iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
      - I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
    Any help is very appreciated.

    Try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.

  • The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

    on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

  • After installing the OS 10.10.3 update iTunes will not open.  Re-downloading iTunes and re-installing did not help.

    After downloading and installing OS 10.10.3 iTunes will not open.  Spotlight does not find it.  I have repaired permissions, re-downloaded iTunes, and re-installed it.  The problem remains.  ITunes appears in the directory of Applications, the update shown in the info in Finder.  Double clicking does not open it.
